Mewkittie Creations

I put the push pins into corks that I sanded the bottoms off so they wouldn’t roll around. Here’s a bad picture. Guess I should have cleaned off my table before taking a picture.

Here’s a few more that didn’t fit into the box:

I made some different ones, a couple of pigs and a cow. Not sure about the cow. Still needs some work. Still trying to come up with animal faces that fit into a round domed piece of glass.

I finally have enough to donate to the Beads Of Courage fundraiser.

I got into a kitty bead exchange on Lampwork Etc. Here’s my first bead that I received:

Isn’t it cute? It’s from Sierra Catz Lampwork  – Barbara Terrill

Also, these are the push pins I made last weekend. I tried another type of flower and more cat faces. Trying to come up with different faces, maybe the next one will be a pig or cow.

I still have a bunch more to make too. The longer pin vise is working out well. I tried a few kitty faces last night. Not sure which one I like better.

I think I’ve got the hang of making the bunny heads. They seemed to go faster when I made these.

I got a longer pin vise and it seems to be helping not burning my fingers. I wish the pin part was a little bigger so I could use it for thicker pins or mandrels. Still, I’m glad it is working out. I was able to get 10 push pins made last night. Yeah!!

I think the bunnies turned out cute. I’m going to try a cat face tonight. Wish me luck.

I thought I’d give making push pins a go. I found that I need to get another pin vise to hold the little pins. The one I have is aluminum and it heats up too much. I can only make three push pins before my fingers get too burnt. Found a steel pin vise online that I’m going to have to get.  Here’s the first ones.

I’m still making key chains. Here’s the last ones I finished up.

Lots of them!!
